Product Information

Dance Mat is great fun! It shows us how to type using the correct fingers. We have been using it each week. Here are some pics.” Taking a look at the images below, we’ll find that the alphas on the Seal is the largest, followed by the Hippo, then the smallest being the Whale. When we take a look at the modifiers, all three keycap sets are different as well. The Hippo uses an Icon style, Seal uses Icon+Text style, and the Whale uses a Text style. My personal favourite is the Icon modifiers, so Hippo is my winner. Texture and legends – Hippo PBT vs Seal PBT The topping out sound of the Gateron Yellows is a slight bit deeper than the topping out sound of the Gateron Hippos, but it is still proportionally louder and higher pitched than the bottoming out in its own switch. Novelkeys Cream On-Screen Keyboard by Microsoft is the virtual keyboard that comes preinstalled on all Windows computers. This app does not offer the same flexibility that FVK does; you cannot customise it and it cannot become transparent. As well, much like with the Gateron Cap Yellows, there is a noticeably greater amount of stem wobble in the Novelkeys Creams than in the Gateron Hippos

Made at MSU The technology behind the Glo Pals was originally created for a classroom project at Mississippi State University. MSU's E-Center helped us take it from student project to student startup. A wonderful UK based operation which sells singles to switches that I’ve used above in my comparisons for collectors and the curious alike. Matt has gone out of his way to help me build out big parts of my collection, and buying something using this link supports him as well as my content! Further Reading

The size of the buttons can be adjusted to fit your preference and so can the slider. Free Virtual Keyboard does have some problems, especially as its language options are limited and complicated to use. Lastly, software crashes on occasion. Alternatives

As well, the stem wobble on the Alpaca V2s is not matched by the Gateron Hippos, as if they really stood much of a chance to be honest. Scores and Statistic Since I have mounted all Kinetic Labs keycaps on the Babypowder White OwLab Mr. Suit, let’s do the same for the Hippo PBT set. The light colours on the Hippo PBT looks really nice on a white board, and looks even cleaner if you’re using a light coloured deskmat.Do you have kids or students who want to learn how to type? Dance Mat Typing by the BBC is a good choice. It is interactive, fun, free and easy-to-use for kids; the system is complete with animated animal characters, graphics and sounds. We provide friendly menus or lists and other cool stuff to make it easier for you and your kids to use Dance Mat Typing to effectively learn how to type.

Much like with the Lavenders, the Alpaca V2s are significantly smoother and more muted in terms of overall sound when compared to the Hippos. Dance Mat Typing will help your kids learn to type – or if they can type already, it’ll help them get better and better! Pals with a purpose. Our inspiration came from a child with autism who was not the biggest fan of the bath. He used the Glo Pals to help him through the sensory overload of bathtime and influenced our mission - to create a product that engages children's senses and brightens bathtime. You will meet different teachers in this flash course. They are (from the first stage to the last stage) Goat, Octopus, Rooster, Hip, Ninja Turtle, Flamingo, Yak, Giraffe, Queen ant, Cat and Snake. When you come to the last stage, you will meet the whole family there, and I can’t wait to tell you that there is a big party waiting for you!It is refreshing to see novelties included in the Hippo PBT keycaps kit. And there are actually a good variety provided for the modifiers and accents. The novelties are rather cute and give off a fun flair to the overall look. Colourway & mounted on keyboards The on-screen keyboard is highly adjustable whether to maximise the attractiveness or utility. You may easily change the colours on the easy-to-use options sections. Beyond that, you can adjust the whole appearance to the different themes that are regularly updated by the company. One of the main differences between the Hippo PBT and the Whale and Seal PBT is that the Hippo PBT is that the legends are from a dye-sublimation process instead of doubleshot. Even though dye-sublimation is not as expensive of a process than doubleshot, the legends on the Hippo PBT still look very sharp. Hippo PBT vs Whale PBT vs Seal PBT Despite being manufactured by Polycaps, the Whale PBT and the Seal PBT feel and look different. The new Hippo PBT is also different from both. It might be good if Kinetic Labs started to standardise the moulds they are using for their future keycaps sets. And if they do, I think it will be great if they use the moulds that they are using for the Hippo PBT. Apart from all the things mentioned above, the characters will say something very interesting in the process of learning typing. For example, the octopus in the stage two will teach you some Italian like “ciao, bambini” which means “hello, kids”, and the yak in the stage seven will take you to one of the most mysterious places in this world – Tibet and tell you some mysterious stories about it.
